Nutrition

Basingstoke Bluefins believes that a balanced, varied diet will help swimmers to achieve their swimming potential.

All swimmers need to ensure that they:

• Have the correct amount of energy for growth and development
• Have the right foods to build and maintain strong bones
• Need to be fit and healthy and not ill as much of the time as possible
• Need to recover as quickly as possible
• Have the ability to get to and maintain an appropriate weight
• Be able to concentrate on both training and school/work

British Swimming produces extensive advice for swimmers on nutrition
